Easter Beurre and Beurre Ranee Pears the latter from Standards

 vhile that from walls with an east or west aspect has been very 

 imperfect in quality, althoogh of large size. Amongst the Apples 

 were the Bottom Russet, stated to be a good dessert apple, ori- 

 ginaUy from America, and succeeding better in this climate than 

 the Newtown Pippin, Xew Rock Pippin , Scarlet Sonpareil, 

 Sturmur Pippin^ wich may be kept till Midsummer, and retains 

 its brisk flavour till a late period in a superior degree, and the 

 Cornish GiW^oicer which is a rich flavoured apple, but rather a 

 shy bearer. It is necessary to obser\ e, in pruning this tree, 

 that the fruit is borne chiefly at the extremities of the shoots.
